The Best Wall Outlets With USB Charging Ports

If you’re tired of hunting for the phone and laptop chargers scattered around your house, wall outlets with built-in USB ports offer an easy and affordable way to ensure that you can always plug in. These outlets provide the same power as a USB phone charger, cost less than twice as much, and free up AC outlets, as well. Leviton’s T5635 (or the 20-amp T5835) is the model we suggest you install, as it has two high-power, future-proof USB-C ports with a combined power draw of 30 watts. That’s enough to power a small laptop or to charge two smartphones at the same time. It’s also easy to install safely yourself. Just make sure a USB-equipped outlet will fit your outlet box before you buy.
